Sentences with phrase «giroud is in good form»

Giroud is in good form against teams with average defenses but Giroud still has trouble with teams with good defense and big matches ie Monaco

Not exact matches

the problem isnt even giroud the problem we have is that we miss an atleast equally good striker, lets be honest we all know that giroud is a striker who has patches when he has his scoring patch he scores almost at a rate of one goal / assist per game and is in a worldclass form, the prob is if his annual dry patch comes we need an equally good striker

Arsene Wenger has always denied any interest in ANY player until a deal has been sealed, and he would certainly not want to disturb Olivier Giroud while he is in such fantastic form, so there could be a good case to be made for the Arsenal denials.

1 good game of giroud and people are thinking he is back in form... what about the previous 15 matches where he didn't score..

As for Giroud I hope what I'm hearing is not true.You get the feeling that once Lacazette starts scoring he just won't like it.He's also another overrated player who's also hear because of Wenger's kindness.Apart from the fact that he's good with his head I don't see the positives of keeping here and even Welbeck.We need players who can push Lacazette to perform and these are just not the players.They are more of rotation players.Do you think if Welbeck and Giroud were at top form they can challenge Laca at his best?I always laugh at our strikers though.On one hand, one doesn't fit our style of play but at least he can finish.On the other hand, the one who fits our style of play can't even score a goal.I can't believe we are joking with such a crucial role.I'm sick and tired of seeing average strikers in the club.It's been painful watching the likes of Bendtner and Chamakh already.Now I have to cope with this.

Jut imagine if our strikers would have added those finishing touch in thier ranks apart from good team play, where we would have been now Its not late at all, if Sanchez and Giroud discovers their form, I am sure we will win the league

the problem isnt even giroud the problem we have is that we miss an atleast equally good striker, lets be honest we all know that giroud is a striker who has patches when he has his scoring patch he scores almost at a rate of one goal / assist per game and is in a worldclass form, the prob is his annual dry patch comes we need an equally good striker

@john0711 I was asking of players worse than Giroud for Arsenal in terms of finishing.I consisered finishing only.Out of your list when all are in form you can argue that Walcott is better.But in terms of finishing he's the worst of that lot.Only Gervinho's finishing is worse.The guy doesn't deserve this club and so does many of our current players.Face reality he's odinary and if you were a manager and wanted success would you put in a # 30 bid for Giroud?Yet his stats suggest he may be worth # 30 showing the contradiction between stats and real life.The earlier we get some average players out of our club and stop defending the indefensible the better for us all.With this kind of mentality success will be far from this club.

Giroud may not have been in the best form for Chelsea recently, but the 31 - year - old could hardly miss here after such a gift from the hapless Ospina in the opposition goal.

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.

If Ramsey is in good form, then he must start, we can replace Rosicky at half time or 50 - 55 mins... I would leave Ozil / Cazorla to Le Prof, though he might choose both, I would start Walcott, because he can make runs in behind defences, just like in the Monaco game, only if he can improve his finishing for that match, Sanchez should carry on the passing game, and as a true winger, should provide crosses to Giroud just like Waloctt, because Giroud has great heading ability...

I think most arsenal supporters love Giroud and wish him the best in recovery, he has done well in the style of play that Wenger has been using for the past couple years, and was doing a fine job last season which we could have won the title if it was not for injuries, no business january and his lost of form due to workload.

2) No leaders across the pitch: Özil for all the money is no leader but a technically gifted player who can split a defense with an exquisite vision and pass, Sanchez for all the dribbles as the potential but is not there yet, Cazorla will never be in the conversation, Mertesacker is not fit to be one anymore, Coquelin for all the good he has done is too tender and inexperience, Giroud no WC player to assume the role... the only one who can seriously be a leader is Wilshere but unfortunately until he becomes consistent and set the tone with his talent and passion... 3) Mertesacker is a shell of himself and it would be an embarrassment to see him continue to play in his current form, get Gabriel out just for the sake of showing anybody in this team that there's no place for under performers: we paid good money to get him so play him!

Injury related with Giroud and Welbz out at the time but team was in by far best form of season with him playing up top.

no one ordered the man to build a strike force around walcott and giroud or to put a quid on suarez «s asking price or to bring in nogo and park (or perez for that matter) or to sell gnabry and play iwobi regularly or to have ramsey playing in every position bar goalkeeper or to take 7 years to work out how to get the best from Ox or to believe merteshaker was alright for the epl when he was way past his international sell by date or to forego a world class DM for 5 years and then plonk down 30 odd mill on an average swiss international or try out a series of makeshift right backs and hope bellerin would maintain his earlier form and fitness... stan n`chips and co are certainly a shocking example of contemporary football ownership but on the pitch its all down to wenger and his delusions

Arsenal fans are quick to say Giroud is on form but to be honest he's better as a sub, every time he starts he puts in a typical woeful Giroud performance of slowing up our play!

As for Giroud, I'm really concerned for his future at the club, with Arsenal finding they have a much better striker in the form of a converted Alexis Sanchez.

We do have the French centre forward Olivier Giroud but his abilities are much different to the Chilean's and so even though he is a good option who has been in good form he is also a very different one and the Gunners would have to change our current playing style.

The Frenchman accepted that Giroud is now in a much better frame of mind and his form is good after scoring for France and bagging goals from the bench in the last two Arsenal games against Bayern Munich and Watford.

I just can't believe that we have become a joke we always start the season well then have a bumpy December and by the time Feb comes our form has taken a dip and we get kicked out of all competitions except for that valuable top 4 that the board loves so much... ultimately if Arsenal want to compete again we need changes from the bottom up... Kroenke and his board need to go cause clearly for them profits matter more than trophies... Wenger needs to go for his lack of tactical naus guy has been using the same fornation since I was in high school and I'm doing my honours in accounting now... our medical team must all go our players always get injured and they never come back in time (take a look at Santi) players like Coquelin Theo Mesut Gabriel Gibbs Giroud just to name a few need to go they're just not good enough seriously these players lack fight tactical Discipline and tactical awareness... at the end of the day change needs to happen things can't keep going like this for us....

fingers crossed welbz comes good because it's euros soon so he has to, with the form all the other English bpl strikers are in he has alot to prove but i believe in him, remember our boy welbz scored his first hatrick for us in his first season giroud only got his first this year after how long being at the club...........

Walcott is the reason we were able to beat Bayern 2 - 0 at the Emirates and when he got injured, we lost heavily to Bayern by a whopping 5 - 1 in the return leg in spite of Giroud's good form.

The boss also alluded to his lack of time on the pitch in recent weeks but reminded the player that Olivier Giroud has been in good form since his return from months out with injury.

A fit Sturridge alone is better than Welbeck, Giroud, Walcott, Ox, Ramsey, Campbell and even maybe Sanchez in his current form.

The Gunners are chasing the 22 - year - old despite the good form of current striker Olivier Giroud, who has 17 goals in 27 appearances this season, whilst Morata has netted just 12 times in 35 games for the Old Lady of Italian football.

I think its worth playing Giroud bcos vs barca we will need pace on the counter (not girouds strong point) and set pieces cud be key (Walcott isn't exactly a tank) Who has pace and strength up top for Arsenal??? Welbeck!!!! Plus he is in good form and high on confidence after Leicester.

The 26 - year - old England international has been in good form of late, forcing Arsene Wenger to leave Olivier Giroud out of his starting eleven in recent matches.

When there was more competition in the form of Sanchez, Giroud, and Welbeck, Walcott was only too happy to run back to the wing and is now having one his best seasons over the last 3 years or so.

«Giroud is very good but not in form right now» when that form will come, we need a form that scores +20 goals a season... Walcott, what to say!

He is a great player but with our own Giroud in great form and still improving at centre forward and with great options up front in Alexis, Walcott and Welbeck, as well as promising young strikers like Akpom, Campbell and Sanogo trying to break through, I don't see a striker as a big transfer priority for the summer, especially if it is going to use up the lion's share of our budget.

We're just not scoring goals... the reality is Walcott is overrated, Giroud is very good but not in form right now, Sanchez needs a few games to get his mojo back and Welbeck is still crocked.

No, if say Aguero or Costa or Ibrahimovic and other world class players had a dip in form or one bad season and fickle ignorant idiots felt free to compare average players like Giroud and conclude he is better because he is their wallpaper idol then I would step in and correct such shallow conclusions.

Lava wasn't good enough at Everton... why leave In - form Giroud on the bemch that long.

Crucially though, is the fact that Welbeck also adds the pace that Giroud lacks and while Wenger will be hoping that Arsenal dominate, the chances are that a counter attack against a strong and in form side on their own ground could be the best scoring option.

am tired of wenger.the man has got good skills, but somehow he fails to address basic issues in the team like buying a striker and a cdm in the last summer.at one time, arsenal had good squad but had a keeper who at times committed mistakes i.e almunia.then after ozil came and arsenal were first in december, all wenger had to do was buy a pacy striker with eye for goal.but wenger did nt so obviously and instead bought an injured kallstrom.agreed ppl fans will keep saying managers shud hav played this guy or that one and so.but in case of wenger, its abt ignoring team issues t (to prove a point he can win without listening to critics and the fans which he never will), and then playing players out of form, out of position, and buying players that do nt fit ur style like giroud!!

For giroud to score a goal like that he must be high on confidence hence base in current form I will start him against bayern with Sanchez and a fit welbeck running the flanks ragged defensively and offensively, we all know ozil plays well when carzola is playing along side coquelin with the back 4 of kostafi and Bellreal and cech to win the game for us with superb saves..

Still, he's being called «our Matic», so naturally...) Fabregas > Cazorla (even though recent form, Cazorla has been alot better) Willian < Walcott Oscar < Özil Hazard < Sanchez Costa = Giroud (Costa might be a better goalgetter, but Girouds teamplay is amazing, as well as the fact that he has 7 goals in 8 starting matches this season, if i remember correctly)

Giroud just is not good enough and thats the facts here, we would have been three goals up with a real world class striker, regardless of Ozil and sanchez current form if we had brought in a real DM player then we'd have won points at other games and this would be just a blip, teams do loose games and they do have off days, the real problem lays in the fact that Wenger has no real top notch choices to mix and match with is he has slumps with his current squad.

Giroud's absence has been another factor in our good form, but I still think he's an extremely important squad player, as he can give us a different dimension in attack if needs be.

Another thought i'll stick in there is that Wenger is also desperate for Giroud to look good in the Euros, so that he will start next season as a player in form, and the fans won't be screaming out for a new real striker that actually scores goals?

When people cry out for a striker or a cdm, we have good players in the starting line up first of all and people realize that, but the problem is when Giroud or Coquelin get injured or loose their form people start calling them useless (I'm guilty of it aswell) but Christ we need to remember that they are Human Beings who need rest, not Stats on a FiFA game.

The prof will only sign a new forward if it improves the quality of his squad options With Alexis Sanchez on the verge of a comeback and with Olivier Giroud in good form and looking set to increase his goal stats for the fourth season in a row since becoming a Gunner, an upgrade will be very hard to find.

So with Theo continuing to show great form and giving the boss a very good option to Giroud in the middle as well as on the flanks, this new contract really is great news.

Add to this the fact that Theo played the full 90 minutes on Saturday while Joel Campbell was not used and the fact that the Costa Rican has been in good form, then it does not take a genius to guess which one will start tonight, assuming that Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud are in the line up that is.

Last but least Ozïl, the talent is there and we know it: on any given day at the top of his form he is arguably the best # 10 in the world and just need performances like this and the previous one to show it and remind everyone (what a pass for Giroud); will do a lot for his confidence and also felt he could've been more involved in the team play but that will come with game time (got 90 mins today)... Hopefully that doesn't stop until season's end and keep them passes and goals coming... Dare I say I would've love to see once a front of Alexis, Ozïl, Walcott / Chamberlaine and Cazorla (mouthwatering)!!!

With Giroud, Alexis, Ozil and Cazorla all in good form and with the ability to hurt any team, Campbell should have chances to prove that he can be a Premier League star.

To be fair to the Arsenal and France international centre forward Olivier Giroud, his goal scoring form for club and country since breaking the long drought in front of goal that was plaguing him earlier this year has been very good.

He said: «Giroud hasn't been in good form and that's why I'd pick Walcott ahead of him against Stoke»

Henry words about Sanchez... I stick to the king words... I criticized Wenger for not signing striker and signing Ozil instead in a time our best player was AMF (Cazorla)... But I have to admit that Ozil is doing so great right now... Unfortunatel, my critics of not signing quality striker is still valid because I firmly believe it's the missing piece upfront (not undermining Giroud current form)

Welbeck would be my ideal right winger but he just came back from a lengthy injury giroud / walcott uptop depending on who is on form elneny and ramsey can rotate in that b2b position but since we are playing arguably the best team in the world, I chose elneny for his defensive discipline
